Rolling Shape Sorter

Name: Rolling Shape Sorter
Brand: Tolo
SKU: 76007

A cylinder-style shape sorter that rolls effortlessly along the floor or a table top. Six rattling shapes, three at each end, post through matching holes, and easy-opening lids at each end give quick access to empty it. The child explores each shape, learns where it fits by shape and colour, then rolls the sorter away and crawls or walks to fetch it. At home it plays in the living room; in a nursery or classroom it is made for group play.

Playguide

How to play and learn

Written by Tolo for parents and early-years staff: what to do with the toy, and what the child is learning while doing it.

12 MONTHS +

1Give your baby the different shapes to explore and rattle.

2Does your baby discover how to put the shapes in the spaces? If not, give verbal hints, without directly demonstrating - and see if your little one can figure it out.

3Most babies this age will need some assistance initially. Show your baby how to put the shapes in the correct spaces.

4Show your infant what happens when you try to put the wrong shape in a hole. Explain that it doesn't fit using encouraging language.

5Talk about the colours and challenge your baby to show you the shape that matches the colour.

6Show your baby how to remove the end of the toy to empty the sorter - take out one shape at a time and challenge your baby to fit the shape in - using lots of praise.

7Increase the challenge by removing two shapes at a time - building up to completing the task in one go.

8As your baby develops he or she will be able to sort the puzzle out independently using both shape and colour knowledge.

9Always use encouraging and supportive language and praise successful sorting.

10Show your baby how to roll the shape sorter along a flat surface - encourage your infant to move to retrieve it.
